Merging Location in Work Zones: A Comparison of Slow and Fast Lane Closures
Lane closure operations in highway work zones use both slow lane closures (SLCs) and fast lane closures (FLC), requiring drivers to perform two different merging maneuvers. While the merging location … [Read more...] about Merging Location in Work Zones: A Comparison of Slow and Fast Lane Closures
Behavioral Modelling of Roadway Construction Workers: Improving Deep Learning-Based Trajectory Prediction With Contextual Information in Traffic Work Zones
Construction workers face rising risks of fatal injuries from vehicle crashes in roadway work zones. While transportation safety research has focused on motorists’ behavior, the behavior of roadway … [Read more...] about Behavioral Modelling of Roadway Construction Workers: Improving Deep Learning-Based Trajectory Prediction With Contextual Information in Traffic Work Zones

Creating Effective Graphic Changeable Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Messaging
Successful transportation safety messages are only effective if travelers can comprehend the notices. However, one method of safety messaging, text-only messages, can be challenging for non-native … [Read more...] about Creating Effective Graphic Changeable Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Messaging
Research on Association Thresholds Between Drivers’ Gaze Behavior and Physiological Tension in Conflict Scenarios of Highway Work Zones
Highway maintenance work zones, characterized by lane reductions, speed limit variations, and temporary traffic controls, exhibit exponentially elevated conflict risks and constitute high-incidence … [Read more...] about Research on Association Thresholds Between Drivers’ Gaze Behavior and Physiological Tension in Conflict Scenarios of Highway Work Zones
